Default freezes when putting in phone numbers

I have a user whose outlook freezes when entering in a
phone number for a contact. I believe it may be something
with her Microsoft Active Sync 3.7.1 and her HP iPAQ
which i have seen posted in another forum before but did
not say how to resolve it. Any suggestions? Everything is
patched and up to date.

Specs:
Windows XP SP2
Outlook 2003
MS Active Sync 3.7.1

What information store? Why do you suspect ActivSync?

i suspect Active sync, like i said because another user
had the same problem and described it so specifically.
Also because hr contacts dont freeze on another computer
and no one else has Active sync, there fore no one else
had a problem. i dont know what you mean by "what
information store" but it is a exchange 2003 server.

An Exchange mailbox is your information store, then. The reason that's
important is that it may be an Exchange problem rather than an Outlook
problem. I've seen no similar reports of similar problems in Outlook since
Outlook 98. No error messages, no Outlook version and no steps to repro make
it impossible to solve from here.

if it were the information store then why would it work
on another computer logged into the same network?

You'd need to ask someone familiar with Exchange. I would assume you are not
logging onto the same mailbox, right?
